These are the first pictures of a newborn baby who was discovered at a bus stop.

Wales native Daniel Braxton was driving through Towyn with his partner and 18-year-old daughter to Staffordshire to visit his son when he found the tot on July 11.

More than a week later the mother is yet to come forward and North Wales Police are concerned for her welfare.

The little girl is yet to be named but looks healthy and is said to be doing well.

35-year-old Daniel, who has a young baby himself and is expecting another with his partner Toni, 25, told how his daughter started screaming as she thought she’d seen a dead baby as they passed the stop on the A548.

Mr Braxton feared it may have been a prank, but as daughter Talitha's screams grew more hysterical, turned the car round and drove back to the scene, reports the Daily Post.

He said: “We pulled up at the bus stop, but I didn’t want us all to get out because I didn’t want my daughter to see it.

"I rang the police and the ambulance and told them there was something in the bus stop.

“To be honest, we didn’t know whether or not it was a sick prank.

"As I pulled up closer I could see the umbilical cord coming off the baby.”

Mr Braxton jumped out of the car and ran over to the bus stop to find the naked baby girl lying there, motionless and not breathing.

A cordon was put in place once police and ambulance crews arrived and forensics officers dusted the bus shelter down while a makeshift interview room was set up in a caravan close to the scene.

A police search helicopter was also scrambled to scour the surrounding area.

At around 11.45am, police confirmed that a baby girl had been found at the bus stop on Towyn Road, and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Helen Douglas, from North Wales Police, said: “At about 07:15 hours this morning a new born baby girl was found in a bus shelter by the Magpie and Stump public house in Towyn, Conwy.

"We want mum to know that she is currently being cared for and treated in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

“We are concerned about the health of the mother of the baby girl and are appealing for her to come forward by contacting me. Likewise if you are a concerned friend, relative or neighbour of the mother you can also contact me on the same number.

“Alternatively, if anyone knows who the mother is or can provide any information which may assist in identifying her please contact North Wales Police by calling 101, quoting reference number V103529. We want to ensure that the mother is provided with the medical support she needs.”

An NSPCC Cymru / Wales spokesman said: “It’s really important that the baby girl’s mum gets in contact with the police, so she can receive any help and support needed.

“The NSPCC offers a range of support to young mums if they are struggling to cope, including our free helpline 0808 800 5000, by texting 88858 or visiting www.nspcc.org.uk.”
